Geese and willow tit? Audio, Talsperre Spremberg, Germany (1 Viewer)

[Henry_Flower]

Hello,
Can anyone help with a few IDs from today? Habitat is mixed pine/deciduous forest, by a reservoir.

My best guess for the picture is white-fronted goose (bars on chest); the recording "taiga.wav" is of the same geese, identified by Birdnet as Taiga Bean Goose (Tundra are more common in our area).

The geese in "greylag.wav" (a bit distant and quiet) were identified by Merlin as Greylag. Is it possible to ID from this recording?

Finally, are we right in thinking there's a Willow Tit in "willow.wav"?

Thanks again for any help you can give!

Hello Henry,

I agree with you, the picture shows two Greater White-fronted Geese together with three Tunda Bean Geese (orange bill with black base). I skip the bird on the far left side (a Bean Goose???).


For the sound:
I am far from an expert with Taiga BG, but this recording sounds ok for a "normal" Tundra Bean Geese imo (correction or confirmation, please. Thanks!)

I agree with you about Greylag for the second recording, but its a difficult one for me. Reason? dont know. Surely my actual sourrounding. I love it. Sorry!

I hear a Marsh Tit and a Crested Tit in the last recording

sound recordings are "Bean Goose" (don't think it can be assigned to subsp.), Greylag Goose and Willow Tit.

(Fwiw I've not been convinced by what I've read supporting the bean goose split)
